Lea Michele To Star in ABC Holiday Movie ‘Same Time, Next Christmas’

ABC announced today that it has picked up a special holiday movie “Same Time, Next Christmas” set to air in December 2019, from Freeform Studios starring Lea Michele. 

Lea Michele will play the lead role of Olivia Henderson, a young woman who met her childhood sweetheart during her family’s annual Christmas visit to Hawaii. After being separated by distance and years, the two reunite at the same Hawaii resort years later and the old chemistry between them flares up anew – but circumstances conspire to keep them apart.

In addition, Lea Michele is set to release her first Christmas album this coming holiday.

“This holiday season holds special importance to me as I get to celebrate both my role in this film and my first-ever holiday album,” said Lea Michele. “I’m honored to return to ABC with this movie event, and I am excited to share the holidays with everyone.”
